The anti Trump protests are getting more attention than his rally

[bravenak]

This is a good sign. Until recently the job the media seemed to be doing was to report what he wanted them to by redirecting their attention to how many fans he has. Today the media is not going for it. They are showing more of the protests, the town halls, and the complete anger at the Trump admin and Republicans.
They keep mentioning how so many are too scared to hold town halls. I think they realized that Trump has been using them and they are fighting back by showing how unliked he is.
If we keep this up, we will end his admin before the midterm.

1. Our people power

Is all we have.

[bravenak]

4. It may be all we need in the end

[ButSeeYa]

11. "We, the people of the United States,

in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

[irisblue]

12. this

[bravenak]

19. Yes

[greymattermom]

2. His attacks on the media

have had an effect. They are showing the opposition because they want to stay in business.

[bravenak]

3. And it is boosting their ratings like gangbusters

I wonder if Fox News is losing viewers.

[Fla Dem]

10. No, the FOX viewers know nothing else but FOX. It's a cult.

[duhneece]

18. REally? Tell me that it's true...links? nt

31. CNN is doing much better since going after trump

27. They lose watchers to natural attrition--death. Most of them are pretty old.

My dad only watched and believed fox till he died at 83.

[bravenak]

30. My cousin watches it because he's always sick at the hospital

He has since stopped watching.

[Scarsdale]

36. Hospitals, clinics, car repair shops

WHY are they always tuned to Faux snooze?? Maybe after getting people riled up, their bills do not seem to be so bad?

[duhneece]

38. I ask if the channel can be changed, & they do 70% of the time

or so. Please speak up and ask; they may say no, but you did your part to 'Resist.'

[RKP5637]

5. Exactly what they should be doing. The US is in survival mode from this buffoon. So glad

some of the media is waking up.

[bravenak]

6. Me too. I'm back to being able to stand watching the news again

[Generic Other]

7. Growing a spine takes time

And every time Trumps kicks a journalist, their bones harden.

[bravenak]

8. It's what they need, seriously. I watched Don Lemon shut a Trumper down.

The dead have arisen.

[Generic Other]

9. I've been impressed by his slapdowns

He draws blood at times. And so politely. The wounded are always taken off guard.

[George II]

15. That was beautiful last night. And that guy he shut down is a "stepford" trumper.

[JawJaw]

16. They won't admit it..

But I think it's dawned on them that they've become incredibly complacent and lazy in recent decades, and that they MUST play their part - their Constitutional duty - to squeeze this demon back in the box.

I hope they get a taste for proper investigative reporting again.

[calimary]

25. True enough. I've even noticed some baby steps toward actual fact-checking - by

none other than Chuck "it's not my job" Todd. He even gave himself an intro to it the other day - "I'm gonna fact-check here a little bit..."

Well Hidey-Ho, Chuckie-wuckie. Whaddya want? A medal? It's your fucking JOB, you lazy smug complacent fucker.

[Brogrizzly]

13. I hope you are correct, get him out before the midterm.

[George II]

14. What rally?

[watoos]

17. Preotesters need to keep an eye out

for the O'Keefe Klan and the Black Bloc, any kind of violence will be used to the max.

[bravenak]

20. I hope they watch out too

[wordpix]

21. an indy friend who usually votes R just joined our local resist movement

It's not like him, but a good sign.

[bravenak]

29. That IS good

[coco22]

22. Any livestreams?

[wordpix]

23. how many pro-Trumpers area t the rally?

[bravenak]

26. Ohh. I dont know, I'm ignoring it like the media should

[Mr. Ected]

24. We the People may have enough power to push Trump over the edge

If he doesn't resign, I don't see the Republicans ousting him for any reason.

Not enough there for treason. Not enough political will among the GOP to impeach him.

The Founding Fathers were pretty smart, but they certainly didn't foresee a clusterfuck of this magnitude, or we'd have a mechanism in place to reconvene an election whose results were tarnished by overt foreign influence.

[bravenak]

28. I think once his approval is at twenty they will impeach and put Pence in

[Mr. Ected]

32. I shudder to think of the state of the country if Trump's approval is at 20 -eom

[bravenak]

33. It will be exactly the way the Susan Sarandons of the world wanted it to be

Trump wont mind being the King of Ashes as long as he can get ratings.

[Cha]

34. Yay!

[ailsagirl]

35. That's how it should be

[heaven05]

37. or he'll end this

so-called democracy by replacing it with another 1000 year Reich. These dangerous people will stop at nothing to hold on to power and his base will say we need a dictatorship to "straighten" things out in white supremacyland...ohhh wait, they already say that.

[bravenak]

39. He can try. He's a weak ass fake tough guy

The second the fight comes he will br flying off in air force one.
